      Perhaps next time you allow an organization to publish your writing and put your face on their website you should check them out to make sure they aren’t in fact an untrustworthy industry front group. Just a thought. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/10/american-council-science-health-leaked-documents-fundraising/ …https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1057398153433899013 …

      I mean, I literally have never heard of the guy you're mad at. Letting them republish one of my pieces doesn't mean that I know every person in the organisation That being said, the meme was distasteful, but I don't know if I'd agree with your assessment

      Lol. Perhaps you should engage with my writing if you disagree with it, rather than this weird ad hominem that doesn't even make much sense

      Replying to @GidMK

      A poor attempt at deflection. I suggest you get reacquainted with the meaning of ad hominem. Scrutiny of behavior is wholly warranted here. Don’t expect people to see you as a reliable source if you can’t even do rudimentary research on who you are collaborating with. Simple.

      Replying to @vixenvalentino

      I don't expect anybody to see me as a reliable source, that's why I link to peer-reviewed research to support my arguments rather than insinuating financial ties to industry in some sort of shady cabal

      Lol. I was just going to ask if ad hominem means something different in Australia, but I see we’ve cleared that up in the thread.

      “You should have researched this industry front group before letting them put your name and article on their site.” “Ad hominem!” “Um...”

      If you wade back through the tweets, the original accusation was that my article on organics was wrong because something something ACSH something industry

      You’re holding me to something you say someone else said? And I think @Alan_Watson_ did a fine job of addressing the specific issues with your article already. Feel free to refer back to his tweets.

      Lol. His objection was largely a semantic criticism of my use of "whatsoever" that ignored 999 words of a 1,000 word article, but I guess believe what you feel like I won't stand in your way!

          LOL -At least you appear to have a sense of humour! My objection was how your article fundamentally misrepresented the research and omitted any reference to the strong, and growing, link between pest(herb)icicides and NHL. ACSH and Monsanto/Bayer should be proud of you..
